Bitcoin transactions soared to a historic pinnacle, registering a remarkable 926,842 transactions, merely three days post the Bitcoin halving event. On April 23, Bitcoin witnessed an overwhelming surge in daily transactions, surpassing its previous high of 731,000 transactions recorded in December 2023, as per data from Glassnode. This milestone was achieved in the aftermath of the Bitcoin halving on April 20, coinciding with the introduction of Bitcoin Runes, a novel protocol facilitating the issuance of fungible tokens within the Bitcoin network. Constituting the majority of transactions on the Bitcoin network, Runes accounted for a striking 68% of all Bitcoin transactions.
